A savings plan is a retirement plan whereby the employer, employee or both make contributions into an individual account established on behalf of the employee. Such funds can be invested, and upon retirement, the employee receives either a lump sum payment of the amount held in the account or such balance will be converted to a monthly annuity payable for the lifetime of the employee. Because the contributions are defined or "known" it is considered to be a defined contribution pension plan.
